St George’s Bay

Around the headland of Dragonara Point is St George’s Bay, the only local beach area and consequently very popular. The sandy part of the beach is minute and, although the number of bobbing boats makes any kind of water activity difficult, the setting is very attractive and there are lidos near by. The far side of St George’s Bay is developing into a mass of top-notch hotels, with a number of quality restaurants.

As St. George’s Bay is located in the entertainment capital of Malta and is surrounded by hotels and language schools, it is very crowded with tourists during summer. Thus, arriving to the beach early is highly recommended. During the summer months, St George’s Bay is especially popular during the night, when crowds of young people gather to socialize. When compared to the beaches in the northern parts of Malta, St. George’s Bay does not have the same beautiful natural surroundings, but it has the advantage of being centrally located to the hotels, restaurants and entertainment.
